Chapter 30: Let's Go, Go to the Rivers and Lakes! (End of this volume)
Lingjing Gate, Wanshi Island, Tibetan Pavilion.
A young man in his twenties sat listlessly at the table at the gate, snorting melon seeds and yawning, his feet were very unfiguratively placed on the table, and his clothes were not neatly dressed, like a little hooligan in the market.
Ah Jue sighed, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and muttered: "Alas, the weather is hot and humid, and it hasn't been an hour since I finished swimming, and I sweated again, if there was a big watermelon to quench my thirst at this time, how good it would be......"
Suddenly, with a "bang", a big watermelon fell on the table in front of him, the color was emerald green, the melon was ripe, and a small mouth was cracked, and you could see the bright red melon pulp inside, exuding an attractive fragrance.
Ah Jue cheered, "The gods have appeared!" and was about to pounce on the watermelon, but when he looked up, he found that Ning Wushu was holding the watermelon with one hand, looking at him with a smile, and subconsciously retracted back into the chair.
"Ning Wushu, what are you going to do?, what about the weasel giving the chicken a New Year's greeting?" Ah Jue stared at the watermelon, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked with slanted eyes.
Ning Wushu ignored Ah Du's eyes with a strong sense of vigilance, slapped the watermelon with a "bang" sound, and said: "I just came from Xiaozhou Island, this is the melon planted by the owner of Beitang Island, the ability of the owner of Baili Island and the owner of Beitang Island to farm is really high, you look at this watermelon, the texture is clear, The skin is thin and the meat is so fragrant, and you see that it is fully cooked, at this time it must be sweet and thirst-quenching, on the way to the boat just now, I also hung it on the back of the boat and soaked in the lake water, and it touched the ice, if you can take a bite in such a hot weather, wow......"
Ah Jue's saliva was about to drip down, he pinched his thigh hard to keep himself awake, and then asked viciously, "What the hell do you want to do?"
"Alas, it's not a big deal!" Ning Wushu leaned his head over with a smile and lowered his voice: "It's when the narcissist comes to teach us to read today, I'm going to take a step first, and then ...... You're dragging him off, it's almost half an hour!"
Ah Jue had already touched the edge of the watermelon with one hand, and the cold feeling made his heart tremble: "You...... What do you want to do? Narcissist is so high, if you do something big, I'm afraid he'll kill me. β
"Alas, no, no, no!" Ning Wushu waved his hand, "And he definitely didn't know that you were my accomplice, so you asked him a few more complicated questions, and didn't let you do anything else, right?"
"Tsk, what's this......" Ah Jue also touched the watermelon with his other hand, "Deal!" As soon as the words fell, the two arms hugged the watermelon tightly, slammed it into his arms, and happily squatted to the side to smash the watermelon, Ning Wushu shouted when he saw this: "Why are you eating at the gate, move the inside to eat, and I will eat a little." β
"Huh, you want to eat it too?"
"Nonsense, I stole from Xiaozhou Island...... Oh no, is it easy for me to hold such a big melon, together. β
"Then you eat a piece, and I'll be a little less narcissist for a quarter of an hour. β
"It's itchy for you, be careful that I tell you about stealing the ancient island lord's good wine. β
"What! you don't even have that...... No, don't talk nonsense, when did I hide something, I'm above board......"
The two of them quarreled and walked into the Tibetan Pavilion with watermelons in their arms.
Soon, Yun Feiyu of the lupine scarf walked in square steps, compared with five years ago, he has not changed much, the age of forty years does not make him look old, but his eyebrows reveal strong confidence and wisdom, he is the kind of person who will shine wherever he goes.
As usual, Yun Feiyu, Ah Jue, and Ning Wushu sat on the terrace on the top floor of the Tibetan Sect Pavilion and talked freely about the doctrine of vertical and horizontal teachings, sometimes discussing and sometimes debating, and from time to time pointing out flaws or mistakes in their words. After so many years of study, in fact, Ah Jue and Ning Wushu have almost studied the classic works of the Zongheng family, although they dare not say that they are memorized, but they are already at their fingertips, but in terms of understanding and practice, they still need to be more experienced Yun Feiyu from time to time.
However, his teaching method is different from others, Yun Feiyu never restricts Ning Wushu and A Jue from generating their own ideas on some issues, sometimes Ah Jue or Ning Wushu will associate some of the more ambiguous words in these ancient classics, and have guesses about the ideas of the scholars at that time, and at this time, often they come to conclusions that may not be consistent with Yun Feiyu, but Yun Feiyu only corrects their mistakes in understanding the words, and does not interfere with their understanding of the ancestors' thoughts, but mainly guides and debatesγ
Perhaps, this is the very important difference between the "machine heart" and the "Tao heart" in the Zonghengjia theory. The heart is just a technique, how the technique is, in fact, it doesn't matter, what matters is the Dao heart, Yun Feiyu allows them to keep the avenue impartial through guidance, and as for their understanding on the way of "technique", it is just some small differences in the means of doing things in the future.
Nearly an hour and a half later, Ning Wushu suddenly put down the scroll in his hand, stood up, and bowed towards Yun Feiyu.
Yun Feiyu didn't raise his head, and asked, "Have you decided to leave?"
Ning Wushu nodded and said, "Yes, if you can save your father this time, you will come here again to learn the Vertical and Horizontal Avenue with the Lord of Cloud Island." β
Ah Jue glanced up at the two of them in surprise, but did not speak.
Yun Feiyu still looked down at the book in his hand, and said softly: "If you can't come back, it has nothing to do with me." But if you can't play tricks and tricks with others, and you are calculated, don't say that I taught you. β
Ning Wushu pursed his lips and smiled, answered yes, and left.
Ah Jue stared blankly at Ning Wushu's back until she disappeared, then turned to Yun Feiyu and asked, "Uh, narcissist, what's the situation?
"Why do you ask so much? It has nothing to do with you. Yun Feiyu raised her eyebrows, "You're done writing?"
"I just finished writing, come on, come on, you see, 'the art of closing, that is, open, that is, speak, close that is, do not speak', I think this sentence is very interesting, although I learned it many years ago, but today I expanded and wrote, you help me see ......"
The two sat on the terrace and continued the academic discussion on the avenue, while Ning Wushu had quietly left Wanshi Island at this time, flooding with the water of the lake, and headed towards an island that he rarely set foot on weekdays......
That night, in the mountains of Wanshi Island's Stygian Water Peak, in the huge mausoleum, in the small valley-like burial chamber, three figures appeared.
One of them was dressed in a silk robe, and he was a handsome boy with a scarf wrapped around his head, a feather fan in his hand, and his lips were red and his teeth were white, but he was Ning Wushu dressed as a man. The other two were two little girls, one holding a package, the other holding a big box, they stood sideways beside Ning Wushu, looking around, a little uneasy but a little curious.
"Miss, this is ...... What kind of place......" Xiaoqin held the package in one hand and tightly pulled the corner of Ning Wushu's clothes with the other, feeling a little scared, she grew up in the Lingjing Gate since she was a child, but she had never heard of such a place.
"Don't call me Miss, call me Childe. Ning Wushu corrected Xiaoqin's slip of the tongue and said, "From now on, my name is ...... Xuanyuan Jinyu, it's this, this ...... Thousands of years ago, the heir of the strange man Yanshi! Here, there is a person who is very important to me asleep, before leaving the Lingjing Gate, I want to come to worship her, you just don't know this place, just wait here for a while, after I finish worshipping, let's leave the Lingjing Gate at night, and walk the rivers and lakes from then on. β
"Xuanyuan Jinyu, it's so hard to remember......" The two little girls stopped helplessly, watching Ning Wushu walk into the path surrounded by two rows of small trees in front of him, and disappear around the corner.
In front of the cabin, the Yanbing's head turned in the direction of Ning Wushu, and his mouth made a "gurgling" sound, but Ning Wushu didn't pay attention to it, and when he passed by it, he reached out and gently stroked its back, and the Yanbing quieted down again, standing motionless.
Ning Wushu slowly knelt down in front of the door of the wooden house and solemnly kowtowed three times. Then he lit three sticks of incense and inserted them in the soil, and put a bowl of rice, a plate of drunken shrimp, and a white fish in front of the incense.
"Sister Xuanyuan, although we have only known each other for a few months, I don't know why, you are like a sister to me, and until now, I think of you every night before I go to sleep. I don't know if you have found Senior Chu now, are you wandering in the sky like a fairy? Five years ago, you didn't let me see you for the last time, and later, I listened to you and didn't go into this cabin again, but I know that you must have slept soundly in it, and you can hear what I said. β
"The past five years in Lingjingmen have been very fulfilling, but they are also very boring. Although I didn't have an apprenticeship, in fact, those elders were all very good people, the Lord of the Forest Sect, the narcissist, the Lord of Fang Island, the Bai Dao Chang, the old man Gu, Uncle Jiang, as well as Uncle Baili and Aunt Beitang, they were all very good to me, and I also got along very happily with Han Luoxing and Ah Jue. But just like Sister Xuanyuan said, Shenzhou is vast and the world is vast, if you don't see it, it's really a pity. β
"Something happened to my biological father this time, and although he didn't treat me well, and I couldn't help myself if I went, I couldn't convince myself if I didn't care...... So, in a while, I'm going to leave here, and I'm going to see this world for you, sister. I'm so playful, I don't know when I'll be back when I'm gone, and I may not be able to come to worship you every year in the future, but I know, sister, you must be able to see me in the sky, right? I looked at the stars last night, and I saw you, Sister Xuanyuan. β
"Sister Xuanyuan, I went out this time and dressed up as a man, very handsome! And I changed my name to Xuanyuan Jinyu, hehe, I originally wanted to call your name, but I was afraid that I would be too stupid and ruin your reputation, so it would be bad." Back then, your senior master Chu named Bai Jinyu, and I thought it sounded pretty good, so I decided to use this. In the future, I will tell others that I have a sister named Xuanyuan and Luan, and I am your own brother! β
After Ning Wushu finished speaking, he kowtowed three more times to the wooden house, and was about to stand up, but his head was biased again, and he whispered to the wall on the left side of the wooden house: "Senior Chu, please take care of Sister Xuanyuan in the sky." β
When Ning Wushu found the two little maids, the two of them were teasing the koi in the pond in the small valley, and when they saw Ning Wushu coming out, they saluted and shouted in unison with a smile: "Childe." β
"Good. Ning Wushu shook the feather fan in his hand, raised his chin slightly, and said in a modified slightly masculine voice: "Xiaoqin, Xiaoya, now go to this river and lake with my son!"
In the Black Mountain Islands at night, the fog that has been filled with thousands of years cannot be dispersed, the smoke on the lake is vast, and a flat boat looms, gradually moving away along the galaxy in the sky.
On the mountainside of the Stygian Water Peak, there is a Haze Cloud Pavilion, two middle-aged men sit in front of the chessboard in the pavilion, playing hands and talking under the starlight, it is Lin Wangshu and Yun Feiyu.
Lin Wangshu was about to settle down, when he suddenly paused, turned his head to look at the foggy sea in the mountains, and said with a smile: "I think it's also my uncle's incompetence, which makes my niece so eager to leave." β
Yun Feiyu also smiled and shook his head disappretently: "Young people are like this, they must go to see this prosperous river and mountain." However, she had a good eye and took away my best clothes. β
Lin Wangshu smiled and said, "You know, then let her take away your clothes?"
"Just a few clothes. Yun Feiyu proudly waved the white feather fan in his hand: "Besides, the entire Spirit Mirror Gate, is there anything cleaner, more luxurious, and more beautiful than my Yun Feiyu's clothes?"
Lin Wangshu stroked his palms and laughed, and the laughter echoed in the mountains.
The size of Jinghu Lake is far more than 10 million acres, and it is a sea for countless people living on the edge of Jinghu. However, a lake is a lake after all, and beyond the mirror lake, there is a wider world.
(The first volume is over, just a few words.) Originally, in my outline, this volume does not exist, and it is directly the content of the second volume to be written next, but if I want to slowly explain the content of this first volume in the later plot, it is really too painful...... So,It still took 100,000 words to write the first volume of this foreshadowing.,These 30 chapters are the protagonist's academic career before he enters the rivers and lakes.,In fact, in the middle of the five years, I also thought about whether to code a hundred and twenty thousand words.,Write about the protagonist's slow practice of martial arts and slow learning of mechanical arts in the Lingjing Gate...... But to be honest, it's really boring like this, the real martial arts still have to go to the rivers and lakes to experience, stay in a small place all the time, and deal with those close to them, it's really warm, but it's not bloody at all. So,This first volume,The whole plot will leap forward faster.,I'll try my best to explain the characters who can be explained.,From the next second volume.,The pace will slow down a lot.,It's also a real entry into the plot.γ Finally, thank you all for your support!)
